This was the result of Su Miao's careful consideration. If she wanted to ascend, she had to help Fu Chen succeed in Nirvana. Otherwise, if she did not get rid of her inner demons, Heaven would sooner or later find a way to control her again.
As for her inner demon, it was nothing more than the trigger planted in her by Heaven.
Even though she had lost her memory and didn't remember Fu Chen, a trace of reluctance and sadness flashed through her heart when she abandoned Fu Chen. The way of heaven used this to turn the trigger into a demon in her heart.
If it really comes to the point where it cannot be reversed, she would rather fight to the death with the will of heaven than compromise.
Fu Chen's face flushed red. He looked up at Su Miao, then quickly lowered his head. He stammered, "Spiritual consciousness...enter Master's spiritual consciousness, is this okay, disciple?"
"So you let him into your consciousness?" Chong Ting stared at the cold-faced woman in front of him in disbelief.
Spiritual consciousness is such an important thing. It was because she lost the fight with Su Miao that she allowed Su Miao to enter her spiritual consciousness.
As for how she was able to enter Su Miao's consciousness, it was because of her persistence.
Chong Ting put down his hand, picked up the white porcelain cup on the table, and the tea rippled.
Su Miao frowned impatiently, this impatience directed at the disliked Tian Dao: "What else can I do? As long as he doesn't achieve Nirvana, my inner demon will always be there. Tian Dao..." A few dark clouds suddenly gathered outside the window. After a pause, Su Miao changed his words: "If I want to ascend, I must help him achieve Nirvana."
Chong heard Su Miao's persistence in ascending, and she showed a trace of sympathy: "It's really difficult for you. What happened next? Why did the old turtle die?"
Yin Yi's death was beyond her expectation. The old man was already dying, and he had sent her a message asking her to go to North City. I guess he couldn't bear it by then.
Although he is called an old fellow, Yin Yi is actually only a hundred years old. Even Su Miao and the others watched him grow up to become the abbot of Wuding Temple.
The dark clouds outside lingered for a long time, and Su Miao raised his hand to set up a barrier. Unable to find any trace of a scent, the dark clouds lingered for a while before reluctantly drifting away.
Only then did she tell Chongting what happened next.
Compared to Fu Chen's shyness and embarrassment, Su Miao was very straightforward and directly drew out Fu Chen's life fire.
After all, her master was also the first generation Fire Phoenix, so she was very skilled at attracting phoenixes.
While Fu Chen was still not reacting, she transformed Fu Chen into his original form and threw him into her dantian.
The spiritual consciousness is located in the cultivator's dantian. How big it is depends on the cultivator's talent and realm.
Obviously, Su Miao's consciousness can still accommodate a phoenix.
Worried that Fu Chen would not be able to adapt to her spiritual sense, Su Miao deliberately placed him on the paulownia tree inside, and followed him in with Eggshell and Fulian.
Fulian showed obvious resistance when entering Su Miao's spiritual consciousness. It was not Fulian who was resisting Su Miao's spiritual consciousness, but Su Miao who was resisting Fulian.
She was born without affinity with Buddhism, and she doesn't like Buddhism.
Fortunately, Fu Chen was only stunned for a moment, and soon he was sitting on the paulownia tree, absorbing the eggshell while using Su Miao's spiritual power.
The spiritual consciousness is also the place where cultivators store spiritual power. The eggshell needs power to neutralize it. Su Miao was not on guard against it, and as a result, Fu Chen absorbed two parts of power at once and almost fainted.
In the last quarter of an hour, Fu Chen finally absorbed the eggshell. Before he could repair his talent, refining the Buddha Lotus became the biggest problem.
Su Miao cannot use his own spiritual power because this will cause cause and effect.
Hearing this, Chongting understood: "So it was the old turtle who helped you?"
The Green Turtle has been guarding Folian for hundreds of years and has long been inseparable from Folian. Its help will not be considered as cause and effect.
Furthermore, cause and effect have a beginning and an end, and the old turtle has no trace of the so-called cause, let alone any effect.
Su Miao shook the newly-formed flame man with a heavy heart: "The loss this time was huge, but it can also be considered a gain."
She still has spies at Wuding Temple. The new abbot is Wuyong, the shy disciple who is also a registered disciple of Miao Su of Wuding Temple.
Su Miao does not believe in Buddhism, so she can only be a nominal disciple in Wuding Temple. Even the disciples in her lineage are nominal disciples and are taught by Yin Yi.
Time was getting closer and closer, and under the influence of the Nirvana Fire, Fu Chen was refining the Buddha Lotus with great difficulty.
The boy's trembling hands were clearly visible within the barrier, as was the pain that could not be concealed even with his eyes tightly closed.
As soon as the eggshell was absorbed, Su Miao lifted him out.
The flames climbed up his red robe and burned more and more fiercely.
Su Miao was furious. After all, he was the child she had watched grow up. Taking advantage of the fact that she and Fu Chen still had a monster contract, she took some effort to transfer the fire of Nirvana to herself.
This Nirvana Fire was sent down by the Heavenly Dao, and it was naturally afraid of her aura. Before long, the fire surrendered, becoming obedient and lovely in her palm.
Without the influence of the Nirvana Fire, Fu Chen would be better, but refining the Buddha Lotus was not an easy task for him.
The book records that the Buddha Lotus can be refined not only by the Phoenix, but also by those who are causally connected with the Phoenix.
But Su Miao kept a close eye on Fu Chen. Not to mention any cause and effect connection, she carefully investigated any connection that was even remotely related.
The Green Turtle had just lost its best friend and was in no mood to sleep. It lurked in the water, quietly watching the master and disciple on the shore. Seeing Su Miao letting the Phoenix refine the Buddha Lotus by himself, it couldn't bear it any longer.
In fact, Fulian does not need to be guarded. It is he who took the initiative to make a contract with successive abbots, and he is willing to experience the death of his master again and again.
It experiences death but does not die, because the Buddha has entrusted it with a task, which is its punishment for devouring its own kind.
The punishment is over and its sins are washed away.
The last thing it needs to do is to help the Buddha Lotus be refined.
Climbing out of the water, the green turtle felt relaxed for the first time: "Miao Su, I can help him. It's time for the old turtle to leave."
In fact, the green turtle had a vague guess that the Buddha let it experience death until the Buddha lotus was picked, and its reincarnation would end.
Therefore, its reluctance has been expressed, and now it only feels relaxed. It has already felt the warmth and sweetness of freedom.
Su Miao paused in her sword dance, she put the sword away and put it behind her back. She raised her chin slightly and asked, "Did the Buddha say that?"
If Heaven is the person she hates the most, then Buddha is the person she hates the second most.
The way of heaven is taboo, but Buddha is like an omnipresent aura. There are many people in the spiritual world who do not believe in Buddhism, but there are even more people who do believe in Buddhism.
Compared to the so-called Nine Heavenly Gods and Buddhas in the human world, this Buddha is actually more of a nickname. Buddha is a person of wisdom, Buddha is a person of destiny, and Buddha is the last faith in the heart of the human heart.
The green turtle slipped, but luckily the other three legs were stable. He said guiltily, "Miao Su, whether it's what the Buddha said or not, you must believe me, old turtle."
Su Miao made a sword flower and said slowly, "I believe it, but are you doing this voluntarily?"
Even though there was only a little time left, she remained calm and composed.
The green turtle knew Su Miao's worries, but it wasn't angry. Looking at the young man sitting cross-legged in the barrier, it said with a hint of ridicule: "Of course, the old turtle volunteered. Don't worry, I won't let the little phoenix get involved in karma--"
"Do you have any last wishes?" Su Miao interrupted, frowning slightly. Death and separation had always been an intractable problem for her. "I will do my best to fulfill them for you."
If Qinggui wants to die, she will not stop him, nor will she say anything hypocritical like "Don't die."
The only thing she could do was ask about the last wishes, perhaps not understanding them, but that was her way of expressing her emotions.
Qinggui thought for a moment and then said directly, "If possible, would you please apologize to the Phoenix Clan on my behalf?"
Even though the phoenix eggs it ate were all from unlucky children with congenital defects, it was ultimately the Phoenix Clan's business, and it was wrong for it to be greedy.
The barrier opened a hole for the green turtle to enter. Su Miao nodded gently: "Don't worry, they won't mind."
Like the Phoenix, the Green Turtle was a descendant of the first generation of the mythical beast, the Black Tortoise. Few of the original Phoenix generation survived, and even if the Green Turtle didn't eat them, the Heavenly Dao was secretly stumbling blocks.
The green turtle felt relieved and flew into the barrier, turning into a blue-green jade pendant, and a red string hung it around Fu Chen's neck.
Then a green force surged towards Fulian. With its help, Fulian became smaller and smaller, and was finally bitten and swallowed by Fuchen, who had turned into his original form.
When Su Miao left with the unconscious white phoenix, Wu Yong had already returned with the disciples of Wuding Temple and was not at all surprised to see her.
His eyes were red, and his face showed traces of tears, but he had learned to take charge of things on his own, and he arranged for his disciples to rebuild Wuding Temple in an orderly manner.
"Elder, are you leaving again? Abbot Yinyi asked his disciple to give this thing to you. He said it was an old thing left by a Buddhist disciple." Wu held the rolled-up scroll with both hands.
The album has been well preserved and has not turned yellow at all.
Su Miao accepted the album and said, "If there is anything in Wuding Temple, you can go to Wuwang Sect to find me."
Su Miao believed that Yin Yi would reveal her identity before she died.
Wu Yong was not surprised: "Don't worry, Elder, I won't be stubborn. Wuding Temple will definitely change after this ordeal."
He looked at the Wuding Temple, which was gradually being restored by everyone, with a gleam in his eyes. Wuding Temple was destined to suffer this great disaster, but after the disaster, it would surely survive smoothly.
Su Miao didn't say anything else. While Wu Yong was giving orders to his disciples, she left three sword energies to guard Wuding Temple.
There was a lot of wind on the mountain, and the wind made the bright yellow talisman paper on the ground rustle.
A young novice monk found the talisman paper and hurriedly picked it up and walked over to Wuyong: "Abbot, what should we do with this?"
There was a thick stack of talisman paper, obviously prepared for the remaining disciples.
Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky. The white figure was no longer in the sky. He smiled and said, "Disciples, each of you take one, and go down."
"Yes, Abbot."
From Wuding Temple to Mutian City, Su Miao hardly had a moment's rest. As soon as she arrived in Mutian City, she found Chongting in a teahouse.
After hearing what had happened in the past few days, Chong Ting sighed: "Yin Yi and Qing Gui died without regrets..." After a pause, she continued: "But why did you still keep that little phoenix in your consciousness?"
After refining the Buddha Lotus and swallowing it in one gulp, Fu Chen finally couldn't bear the excess power and fainted. After entering the spiritual consciousness once, Su Miao directly threw the bird into his own spiritual consciousness.
As for when to wake up, she was not in a hurry. When Fu Chen woke up, she would help him achieve Nirvana, and then she could ascend.
Thinking of this, Su Miao's eyebrows curved and the smile on the corner of his mouth never faded.
"The sycamore trees inside will help him wake up soon."
Chong Ting stared intently, propping up his face and moving closer, still staring at Su Miao: "Miao Su, there's something wrong with you. Why? Because you know his identity?"
They know each other too well, even better than each other.
Su Miao was not at all flustered. She kneaded the gift given to her by Tiandao and cooperated very well: "Oh? Really? Tell me about it."
"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door, urgent but polite.
Su Miao glanced at Chong Ting, who had no choice but to step back a little. He then gently lifted up his loose robe until Chong Ting sat up straight and looked perfectly normal. Only then did Su Miao respond, "Come in."
